Head Coach Allison Daley Postgame Comments
"We competed hard for 60 minutes today and I am proud of our team for that. We again saw some really great things from this team and that shows how capable we are. We dug ourselves into an hole in the first half but we had a solid response from our team to close the gap."

"We played an extremely challenging non-conference schedule and we hope that has set us up for conference play this weekend."
